On the border of Illinois and Wisconsin, I came upon this scene while traveling with my sister. I couldn't get over the many textures and colors in this landscape, and created this piece as soon as I returned home.

I came upon this scene while traveling through Door County, Wisconsin a few years back in the Summer, and had to put it on canvas.
"Cantigny Park," oil on canvas, 30" x 40"

A trip I took to Cantigny Park in Wheaton, Illinois last Summer inspired me to paint this scene. I have created more paintings of Cantigny Park, inspired by the colors and textures of the landscaped gardens. I am looking forward to visiting the park again in the Spring.
"Frank Lloyd Wright's Unity Temple," oil on canvas, 36" x 48"
Copyright © 2009 by Dzvinka Stifel. All Rights Reserved.
This painting is of Frank Lloyd Wright's Unity Temple in Oak Park. Living in Oak Park for the past 40 years, I constantly see and appreciate the architecture and history around me, but what was really inspiring about this scene was the tree itself - it was framing the temple with delicate branches that looked like lace, decorated by golden Autumn leaves.
"Millenium Park," oil on canvas, 30" x 40"
Copyright © 2009 by Dzvinka Stifel. All Rights Reserved.
A trip to Millenium Park in Chicago inspired this painting. It was purchased by the Berwyn Public Library in Berwyn, Illinois and is on permanent exhibition at the library. I am looking forward to future visits to the park when the weather gets warmer.
My Studio in Oak Park
I prefer painting in the comfort of my studio in Oak Park, so while traveling through rural Illinois, I take photographs, make sketches and take notes that later assist me in my oil paintings.
